This book delivers potent Catholic wisdom, inspiration, and hope! The authors beautifully connect St. Monica’s life and spirituality to this present time when so many lament the loss of faith by loved ones. With practical, personal testimonies, this timely work encourages readers to arise with trust and prayer. St. Monica, rather than pondering, “What did I do wrong?”, prayed in courageous hope motivated by ardent love for God and family. Please give yourself and loved ones the gift of this book.

Description
St. Monica was the loving mother of St. Augustine, Catholic theologian and Doctor of the Church.
While St. Augustine became one of the most influential theologians of the Catholic Faith, he spent a period of time running from God. During this period, his mother prayed continuously for his conversion. God answered her prayers!
In What Would Monica Do?, two mothers, authors, and lovers of St. Monica offer guidance, practical advice, and prayers for navigating the difficulty of losing a loved one to the world through their reflections on St. Monica.
What Would Monica Do? is the friend and guide that you need to find peace and consolation in a relationship with your heavenly Father even while experiencing tremendous grief and disappointment.
St. Monica, pray for us!
